Abandoning sole-sourcing will ‘cripple’ Akufo-Addo’s gov’t – Avedzi
The Deputy Minority Leader, James Kludze Avedzi has urged caution on government’s decision to totally forgo the use of sole-sourcing in the award of government contracts.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration accused the Mahama administration of having a voracious appetite for sole sourcing of contracts which were inflated at times.
This he said is because going through the normal tendering process could “sometimes take up to about six months with the minimum being three months.”
“So anything you want to procure you have to go through these processes and its going to make governance so difficult for them. And because that is what have been saying let me not have anything against that. I wish them well but I have my doubts and I believe that it is going to put them in a tight corner and it will even have negative effects on this country,” he added.
